Our iPhone & iPad app gets an upgrade!

We've just released Version 1.1 of our iPhone & iPad App to the itunes app store. It's ois7 compatible and in-line with most apps, it now works in portrait orientation as well as landscape (after feedback from users). In order to achieve this we’ve had to use icons for the genders, like you’d find on a toilet door!
